CUE/IO · RASPBERRY PI

Install CUE/IO on Raspberry Pi

A simple first installation that does not require Linux knowledge.

Raspberry Pi 4 / 564-bitmicroSD ≥ 8 GB

Two different file types

Complete CUE/IO image

For a clean installation or recovery. Writing it completely erases the microSD card, so export important shows first.

CUE/IO OTA update

For an already installed device. Install it under Settings → Updates; shows, configuration, and the licence are preserved, and SSH is not required.

  1. 1

    Prepare the equipment

    Use a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, a quality microSD card of at least 8 GB, a suitable power supply and an Ethernet cable.

  2. 2

    Download the image

    Every signed-in user can open Downloads and save the latest .img.xz file. Keep the SHA-256 value for verification; no licence is required for this step.

  3. 3

    Write the microSD card

    In Raspberry Pi Imager choose OS → Use custom, select the .img.xz file and write it to the correct card. Do not apply extra hostname, user, SSH or Wi-Fi customisations.

  4. 4

    Start Raspberry Pi

    Insert the card while the Pi is powered off, connect Ethernet and then connect power. The first start prepares the device and can take several minutes; do not disconnect power.

  5. 5

    Open and activate CUE/IO

    Open http://cueio.local/ from a phone or computer on the same network. A valid licence is required at this point to activate and use CUE/IO with the activation code from your account.

Verify SHA-256 before writing

All 64 characters of the command result must exactly match the SHA-256 shown under Downloads. If they do not match, do not use the file.

macOS
shasum -a 256 CUEIO_FILE.img.xz

Windows PowerShell
Get-FileHash CUEIO_FILE.img.xz -Algorithm SHA256

Linux
sha256sum CUEIO_FILE.img.xz

After installation

The web interface uses standard port 80, so no port number is needed. If cueio.local is not available on your device, use the Raspberry Pi IP address shown by your router.

http://cueio.local/

If cueio.local does not open

Use the Pi IP address assigned by your router. If a free AP-capable Wi-Fi adapter is available, the factory image starts an open CUE/IO Setup network; open http://10.42.0.1/ and set your own WPA2 password under Network settings.

Do not disconnect power during first start or while an update is being installed.
